The film 'Her in Frame' will screen free during a special two-day run on August 22-23. Co-produced by Thailand's Ministry of Energy, the Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA), and Broadcast Thai Television Company Limited, the movie features lead actors Thana Leerutanakajorn (Tor) and Lalina Chuet (Leena), alongside supporting cast members Nonthaya Imnennond (Nont) and Christopher Taylor Jindapol (Chris).

When asked about their feelings on joining the project, Nont expressed excitement, calling it a valuable production and an honor to work with skilled actors and director Ku Eaksit and the entire team. He plays Art, a quiet character who deeply cares for his friend and follows him everywhere like a devoted assistant searching for the person his friend dreams of.

Leena said this is her first film and she was thrilled and excited to deliver quality work. She plays Minthra, a museum curator of Thai textiles, and teacher Kamonwan.

Tor expressed joy at being part of the film, playing two contrasting characters—Tawan and Danai—that differ from his real personality. Chris shared his excitement and nervousness about his first film role as Nee, working alongside Leena and Ta (Athiwat), noting that while he was tense during the first scene, the experienced cast and crew helped him relax and work smoothly.

When discussing challenges, Chris cited his nerves as a first-time actor working with skilled professionals, questioning whether he was performing correctly. Leena mentioned concerns about translating theater acting techniques to film and initial anxiety working with the experienced Tor, though she soon realized his discipline and dedication. Tor humorously revealed his biggest struggle was Thailand's heat, which left him with watch-strap tan marks on his arms that persisted through filming. Nont joked about his character's inconsistent wardrobe—wearing a head wrap, hat, and long sleeves with short pants—and the challenge of delivering cute insults when he naturally tends to speak bluntly.

Regarding how the film changed their perspective on love, Chris felt it taught him that true love transcends time and distance. Leena noted that seemingly impossible things in the world can happen, including matters of the heart. Tor emphasized that compatibility between two people doesn't depend on others' opinions, profession, status, or age—compatibility simply exists or doesn't. Nont poetically suggested the film shows a love so destined it's as if two people were born as a pair, regardless of circumstances.

Asked to convince hesitant viewers, Nont urged people not to doubt themselves, noting the chemistry between Tor and Leena feels natural and the cast worked hard. He also highlighted that it's free to watch. Tor called it a film requiring no emotional barriers to enter, inviting viewers to experience it without risk over the two-day screening.

Nualpraan Lumsum, Honorary Consul of the Lithuanian Republic in Bangkok, hosted a reception to celebrate the 108th anniversary of Lithuania's founding, the 36th anniversary of Lithuania's independence restoration, and the 33rd anniversary of diplomatic relations between Lithuania and Thailand.

The event was presided over by Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, Foreign Minister Sihsak Poungkeat, Lithuanian Foreign Minister Kęstutis Budris, Lithuanian Foreign Ministry Indo-Pacific Director Richardas Šlepavicius, and Lithuanian Ambassador to Thailand Darius Gaidys, alongside ambassadors from various nations, senior Foreign Ministry officials, and Lithuanian residents in Thailand. The gathering was held at The Glass House, Parknai Lert, Bangkok.

Lumsum spoke of the white stork, Lithuania's national bird, describing it as a symbol of luck, family, and unity—fundamental values that strengthen every nation and society, fostering harmony and peace. She expressed confidence that this meeting between representatives of both countries at the Foreign Ministry and Government House would elevate bilateral cooperation across various dimensions. She also hoped for the opening of a direct Bangkok-Vilnius flight route in the future, which would bring the peoples of both nations closer together and create opportunities in economy, trade, investment, and sustained mutual trust.

Lithuania's national days fall on February 16 and March 11 each year. These celebrations commemorate important historical events reflecting the courage and determination of the Lithuanian people, embodying the national motto of "Freedom, Unity, and Prosperity."

On August 5, 2569, Chatchanon Detchadecho, a Democratic Party list MP and deputy party leader, spoke to reporters at Parliament about the opposition's plans to file a no-confidence motion. He said the Pheu Thai Party must be the one to submit it, and once the opposition coalition decides to proceed, the allied parties will discuss the timing among themselves. The opposition is ready, he confirmed, but the timing depends on Pheu Thai's schedule. He noted that when Parliament reconvenes, the priority will be debating the 2570 fiscal year budget bill in readings two and three before any no-confidence debate can proceed.

When asked what issues the Democratic Party would highlight and what vulnerabilities the government has, Chatchanon said the government's problems are plain to ordinary citizens—such as economic hardship and rising cost of living. He singled out Commerce Minister Supattanapong's portfolio, noting that although oil prices have dropped, consumer prices have not fallen, which is a clear weakness. He also criticized Deputy PM Akanut and Finance Minister Akanut over farmers' compensation funds that the government claims are exhausted, demanding they explain where the money went.

Chatchanon added that recent southern fruit-season crises—including mangosteen and durian problems—have given the opposition ample grounds for the no-confidence motion. He acknowledged that whether the debate will topple the government depends on whether the budget passes and whether the government loses a simple majority of votes. He stated that opposition parties are united and will perform their oversight role fully. "If there is a genuine no-confidence vote in September or October, it will be interesting and not theater," he said, pledging that the opposition will expose government failures not previously revealed to the public. When asked about rumors of political realignment, he said he could not answer and urged reporters to verify the source of such claims, as the Democratic Party, Kla Tham Party, and Pheu Thai Party have not discussed such matters with anyone.

A heartbreaking tragedy struck when a 72-year-old woman slipped and drowned in a water tank outside her home in the middle of the night, with no one witnessing the fatal accident. Her grief-stricken husband, 69, walked toward her body and tearfully said, "Let's go to the temple together, mother," leaving neighbors deeply moved.

Police in Muang Chachoengsao District received the report at 8:30 a.m. on August 5, 2026, and rushed to the scene with rescue units and a medical examiner from Buddhaso Hospital. Inside the water tank, which was covered with algae, they found the woman face-down in the water. One black sandal lay on the tank's edge, and a stick of incense placed by relatives was nearby. The husband stood weeping with profound sadness. Officers brought the body up for preliminary examination, and during this time the husband approached his wife's body and said, "Let's go to the temple together, mother," a moment that deeply affected the neighbors.

The husband disclosed that they had spent life together for many decades. He last saw his wife around 11 p.m. the night before, when he went inside to sleep while she remained outside. In the middle of the night, when he noticed she still had not come inside, he assumed she had gone to sleep at her sister's nearby house, as she occasionally did. Later, when he went to check at the sister's house and did not find her, he searched around the home with relatives until his grandson spotted her sandal in the water tank and saw her head floating beneath the algae-covered surface. She could not swim and likely slipped on the slippery algae when she came out and fell into the tank.

Village headman Chalermsai stated that the couple were long-time residents with no history of conflict. The deceased regularly washed dishes in that area. The night before, after heavy rain, the ground and tank edges were wet and covered with algae, so the woman likely slipped and fell into the water tank unseen by anyone.

Initial examination by the medical examiner found no signs of trauma or abnormalities, and the death was classified as an accident. The body was handed to Chachoengsao rescue workers and taken to Wat Ratsongcharoen Maneruddhi for religious rites at the family's request. Throughout the somber proceedings, the husband wept continuously, mourning the loss of his life partner of many decades.
